Introduction

Both tracks of music were selected from Pixabay and are AI-generated. The first track belongs to the modern classical genre, characterized by a calm and documentary-style ambiance. The second track falls within the pop and folk genres and features female vocals. Given my lack of a musicology background, I intentionally chose these two tracks that sound with contrasting musical characteristics for me to facilitate a comparative analysis of their distinct sonic features.

Visualisation

Compare to the class corpus, my track ahram-j-1 and ahram-j-2 are slightly more approachable and significantly lower arousal levels which can lead to lower danceability. Furthermore, both are less engaging that the class average with less instrumental content. Both have higher tempo and lower valence.

When it comes to arousal, tempo, and valence, my tracks are quite different from the class average.

It is intersting to see the combination of high tempo and low arousal!
